Our Commitment
The TGS network became a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact in 2017. As a TGS member firm, we are committed to the sustainable development of our activities. Our network name and mission “Think Global Sustainability” is at the heart of our daily actions.
The ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact are in line with the TGS policy of social responsibility. As a TGS member firm, we focus on quality, building trust and establishing sustainable relationships with our employees, customers and stakeholders.
In an increasingly unstable and unpredictable global environment, questions continually arise about how we work and how we measure the impact of business on our environments. Every year TGS publishes a COP (Communication On Progress) which documents our sustainable action. You can download our most recent COP here.
